first off, short course do not fly as well at buggy or ST. More people have issues with the sc5m nosing down. I have not heard of anyone with issues nosing up. It is probably how you jump it. And if it is a long big air jump, it is even harder. If you nose up on short jumps, you are probably on the throttle too long and accelerating up the face of the jump. But without driving your truck myself, that is about all i can suggest. Find a local driver that is good and have them run a few laps. And get their feedback.

Make sure the body air vents are trimmed too. You could just be parasailing.

I made mine from a b5m rear. Works good

I got my B5m set in the mail today. I mounted it up front sort of like the pictures a few pages back. I now have them front and rear. Only took a couple extra screws and ball links. Works like it was made for it.

Ok thanks. I run on an outdoor asphalt track in a rally class with no jumps. I ran what I thought was a stiffer setup and won my main by lapping the field (this truck is awesome! lol) but I was told to go even stiffer. I currently have 80 weight oil in the front with a gray spring and 60 in the back, 1.5 pistons. I'm going to see how the truck reacts to these changes and then I'll determine if I still need a sway bar. I'm thinking probably so but I don't to throw a lot of changes at it all at once.

Had another run with my SC5M, the guys fixed some broken clay (dry, wet, dry, extreme wet and extreme dry really messed it up). So we got sections which have good grip, like flat dried clay (good grip at my measures ) and loose stuff which makes it even hart to drive straight.
The SC5M didnt handle that well, kinda back to my problem loosing the rear when entering fast corners. I didnt want to do any tuning, cause my money is on the B5M and B6 someday. But at the moment I am just loosing confidence in the truck and think of selling it
Current setup is:
>front shocks 35wt and grey spring
>rear shocks 30wt and green spring
>ball diff just opened a notch, any more closed and its shut for good
> Hole Shots front and rear, standard plastic rims
> shorty at rear position
So its either sell it or make it the way I like it.
Thinking of adding brass c and d, increase rear toe to 3,5 (which wont help me just for acceleration?) Any more suggestions? I even think of trying to switch to gear diff with 5k...
@ Ray: you suggested 1.7 and 37,5wt for rear?
